Kirby Anders (formerly Colby) is a fictional character on the American TV series Dynasty.
The role was portrayed by Kathleen Beller from 1982 to 1984. She was introduced in the 7th episode of the third season, and was written off after the last episode of the 4th season. Beller reprised the role for the 1991 miniseries Dynasty: The Reunion.
Kirby Anders is the daughter of Blake Carrington's majordomo, Joseph. In episode 44, she returns to Denver from Paris, where she has spent the last several years studying. She had worked as a nanny but left her job after she became romantically involved with her (married) employer. Upon her return, she reconnects with her childhood playmate, Fallon. As adults, however, the gulf between rich and poor is more of an impediment to their friendship. In episode 45, Fallon hires Kirby to be the nanny for her young son. Immediately, Kirby has eyes for Fallon's husband, Jeff Colby. In episode 46, her father warns her not to interfere. But as Kirby watches Fallon's marriage to Jeff deteriorate, mostly due to Fallon's infidelities, she ingratiates herself with Jeff. During this time, Adam is also attracted to Kirby. Jeff protects Kirby from Adam's unwanted advances, increasing tension between the two men. In episode 48, Adam rapes Kirby. He offers her a job in episode 52, which she declines. In episode 55, Adam attacks Kirby again but she is rescued by Jeff. In the heat of the moment, Jeff (who has recently divorced Fallon) proposes marriage to her. Jeff and Kirby are married in Reno in the following episode. In the season finale (#61), Kirby learns that she is pregnant and realizes that the child is Adam's, but is afraid to tell Jeff.
In episode 63, Joseph commits suicide. Kirby is devastated. Blake explains that Joseph had tried to protect him by attempting to kill Alexis, and when he failed, he shot himself. Kirby suspects there is more to the story, and in episode 65 she confronts Alexis and winds up trying to strangle her. Blake manages to stop her.
